wrinklies DIRECT - the recruitment and employment agency where age is the benefit.

At one time organizations had an abundant supply of young talent as older staff looked towards retirement. Today this approach is increasingly unsustainable. Statistics emphasize the changing demographics. More people over 55, fewer under 25.

Our society is learning to encourage and use the enormous talents of mature and experienced people. Their contribution is needed now more than ever.

wrinklies DIRECT addresses the challenge by working with employers and government to restore the balance in the workforce, combining experience of age with the energy of youth. Few organizations survive without this balance. Many flourish because of it.

The age discrimination in employment legislation means that applicants for work must not be discriminated against on grounds of age, any age! 

wrinklies DIRECT Have many older candidates. This means they are experienced in what they do and many are highly skilled professionals. They seek employment. They bring those characteristics you would expect - a traditional work ethic, a high degree of integrity and loyalty, and a level of experience that often limits training to that of induction. We know that talent and ambition matters more than age. They want to work, and they are job ready.

For employers we offer an incredible resource.                                     Recruitment: When looking for experienced, mature candidates Consultancy: Addressing age diversity challenges. Training: To help experienced candidates recognize the value of their experience
